Preparation

1. Prior to installation, examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage and compare the

piece count with your packing slip. After opening all boxes and packages read this

introduction carefully. Check that all of the needed parts are included in the package by

checking off the components on the “Detailed Diagram of Shower Door Components”. If the

unit has been damaged, has a finishing defect, or has missing parts, please contact our

customer support department within 3 business days of the delivery date. Please note that

DreamLine® will not replace any damaged products or missing parts free of charge after

3 business days or if the product has been installed. Feel free to contact DreamLine® if you

have any questions and please provide an order number, job name or other proof of purchase

to help us identify your original order.

2. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, install all of the required plumbing

and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by

local code) plumber for all plumbing installation.

3. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions about

installation compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location,

and DreamLine® is not responsible for code compliance standards for your project and

will not accept any returns.

4. Please make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and

will be able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles.

Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls will result in

serious problems for your installation. Please note that some adjustments and drilling may be

necessary during the installation process.

5. Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass

down directly onto a tile floor. Leave corner protectors in place until necessary to remove them.

Always use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass

prior to and during installation.

6. This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.

7. This model has 7” of total adjustment within the model size: 1” overall width or out-of-

plumb adjustment using the strike-side wall profile and 6”of overall width adjustment using the

door pivot hardware. The pivot side wall profile should only be adjusted for out-of-plumb

conditions and not for overall width.

8. a) If the width of the opening is less than 37¾” and you are installing the door only (without

the stationary glass), refer to (Diagram A) with (Packing List A).

b) If the width of the opening is greater than 37¼”, and you are installing the door and

stationary glass with glass shelves, use (Diagram A and B) with (Packing List A and B) to

complete the installation.

9. This model requires a minimum 2-1/4” of flat threshold space for installation.

10. Professional installation is recommended for this heavy glass frameless shower door.


NOTE: The installation of this model requires that you drill down into the threshold (see step# 8).

Product Maintenance

BASES and BACKWALLS: To ensure long lasting life for your acrylic back walls: wipe them off

after each use with a soft cloth. To clean the acrylic back walls use non-abrasive sprays or

cream based cleaners. Avoid the use of aerosol spray cleaners. Never use abrasive cleansers,

metal brushes or scrapers that could scratch or dull the surface.

GLASS: To ensure long lasting life for your glass shower products: wipe them off after each use

with a soft cloth. Rinse and wipe off the glass using either a soft cloth or a squeegee to prevent

soap buildup and water spots (Hard water can etch the surface of the glass over time if left to

dry). To prevent scratching the surface: never use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products that

contain scouring agents. Never use bristle brushes or abrasive sponges that may scratch the

surface.

HARDWARE: To ensure a long lasting finish: wipe off the metal parts after each use with a soft

cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning products containing ammonia, bleach or acid. If

accidentally used, rinse the surface as soon as possible to prevent damage to the finish

(peeling or corrosion). After cleaning the polished finishes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry with

soft cloth. Clean stainless steel surfaces at least once a week. When applying stainless steel

cleaner or polish to stainless steel hardware, work with (not across) the grain. Never use an

abrasive sponge or cloth, steel wool or wired brush as these may permanently scratch the

surfaces.
